UFO or giant orbs over Denver 07/04/2014

So my daughter and I were watching fireworks last night from the park. We had a great view of all shows around the city of Denver, it was beautiful!
At about 9:35 mst, we were looking to the east, quite a distance from the city, when we saw these bright glowing orbs of light. I seriously could not
believe my eyes! I have never seen anything close to a UFO or orb like this in my life! I tried to keep my composure in front of my daughter as much
as I could.
Well, I didnt think much about it until this morning I saw a news article about the lights! Personally, what I seen were three to five lights that
appeared to hover, and then all of them free fell in what appeared to be the same path. Anyway, the local news had a video of the lights, but the
person had taken the video down and they were asking for it to be posted again. A quick google search brought up several results, including this
Youtube video. What are your thoughts ATS?!?

This was on my Facebook page of the local news channel talking about the incident:

It appears the person who posted the video of the strange lights to our page, that we shared, has removed the video, which removed it from our
feed. Does anyone else have video from last night? While there were skydivers at Mile High, most of videos were taken in the suburbs, looking at
suburban fireworks displays.

The blurb above about paratroopers at Mile High Stadium, these were out well east of the stadium, I would say a good 30 40 miles away from any major
city or town, on the eastern plains of Colorado. There is NO WAY these came from anywhere close to the city of Denver.
ETA: I am 38 years old and have seen my share of fireworks....I can guarantee these were not fireworks!

5 orange lights that changed in their intensity of illumination were seen flying west of the facility our officers protect.

Two weeks later, at almost the exact same time the phenomenon was seen again. The 5 lights appear to rise from the ground, at different times,
eventually all arriving thousands of feet from the ground, before making rapid direction changes. The lights end up “disappearing” in under one
hour.

We have had 3 witnesses on the first sighting and two on the following sighting. Needless to say, it’s not something we normally put in any SOR’s
but we made the exception for both occasions.

All persons sighting the craft are former military, from multiple nations.

Thing is it does look like skydivers, although they usually use pyrotechnics, and the pictures don't seem to have any aircraft running lights. These
look just like lighting of some sort.
They might even be flares caught in an eddy, it's too hard to tell.
In edit, I notice a flaring light on the ground over to the right just before the sky lights appear, so it could be something launched like flares, or
some made up thing.

Looks like a cluster of Chinese lanterns to me, especially the way they fizzled out.

I was out last night watching a local fireworks display and someone in the neighboring housing development were letting them off. I watched 7 of them
one after the other rise from the trees and travel the same path then fizzle out at the same distance as they ran out of fuel.

I'm not sure if skydivers use lights when they are diving at night. I would think it would interrupt their vision unless it was to shine a light
downward. This might be a good place to start - to see if this is protocol. Even then though - a spotlight directed at the ground wouldn't be that
well seen 30-40 miles away. It might look like a twinkle. Unless they wanted to light up as a way to be patriotic.

UFO or giant orbs? I'd say neither. They look exactly like paratroopers circling around their landing spot until eventually landing, just like is
shown in the video, and just like Gortex posted a video of above.

Could be lanterns too, although they would need to be attached here. I see lanterns all the time, but I've never seen them turn on the same axis like
that.

The Big Airport 'DIA' is just east of town... Seems to me if you going to skydive at night not far from a busy international airport having some
kind of very bright air craft warning lights might just keep you from being sucked into a big jet engine...

The light were to the east of the city. I was west of the city and I have lived here all my life, these lights were a good 20 miles away from the
stadium or any surrounding city. also there were no fireworks in the vicinity of the lights.

If you watch the video above that Gortex posted, those lights seemed to be going out part of the time as well. As far as lanterns, they rise and
don't fly around in circular motions. They tend to fly in a mostly-straight line while slowly rising.

The lights in the video you posted are circling around and getting lower and lower until eventually reaching the ground.

Your probably correct, I am just saying that from the vantage point I had, these seemed to a lot further east of the stadium or any heavily populated
area. After deducing possible scenarios, the most likely answer would be the paratroopers I suppose.
ETA: Figures the first time I come on here and say I saw some type of UFO, its only some stupid sky divers
